Thoroughly Poetic Thursday Z: for Sammy

Angel Sammy started this fun weekly event.

Sweet poetic Sam went to the bridge last Friday, 

Never forgotten though.

We would like to dedicate this post to Sam and Pam.

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday with Sammy

ONE SPOILED CAT 

Today's post is brought to you by the letter

Z

Zest

Sam was the best,

his zest for fun and life reached all

the way to the West.

When Sam was a spry guy, his quest was 

to catch pests, no matter where their nests.

As Sam grew wise, that thought went south

to him all critters were friends no matter their clout.

Sam teased us with pictures to make us guess.

Suzie Q cheered us on 

She gave us no clues 

That girl was so cute no one gave a hoot.

 When she shook her

pom-poms, we all threw up our paws saying

Suzie Q our brains are fried

Please come back next week so again we can try.

With hugs and love Madi your bfff

The party in Mom's head!!

.....was a recent discussion with mom's good buddy Pix.  They were talking about what goes on when she writes our post.
 Pix you will see the party goes on non stop....keep reading
Mom has  a morning ritual this is where I sit during the ritual

The products needed for said ritual...
TOGM needs lots of help

THE RITUAL
washes her hair with Suave for Kids, washes her face,  puts in her contacts, 
rubs magic potion lotion all over her face, takes towel off hair adds mousse.

Sooooo mom's other good buddy Mad Snapper and mom  often share crazy stories of things they do that no one knows about and there are no photos because the photo takers are the subjects...
Sunday (12/4/16), Mom sent this email to Mad Snapper

"Swallow your coffee and don't eat anything.

You know how we often talk about having two chores on our mind,

aka I walk in the bathroom with my slippers and pjs, I put the 

slippers on the counter and for some crazy reason I put the pjs

on the floor?. 
Well my routine after I wash my hair is to leave 

the towel around my head while I wash my face and put in my contacts.  

Towel comes off followed by lotion on my face and mousse in my hair..
WELL TODAY I REACHED FOR THE MOUSSE before the lotion.

Mousse went on my face.YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS true story, no photos

I cackled out loud then B saw it and we both cackled.  
It looked like shaving cream or perhaps I thought I was Santa Paws.

Madi was asleep but awakened by cackling and not amused.

At least mousse was easily removed from my face.  

Lotion in hair would have been messy.

sincerely yours

TOGM"

Mom says there is probably a medication she can/should take but
she is having way too much fun!!!

Now to wash that crazy visual out of your head here is a photo

of our Red Japanese Maple...it was a glorious red this fall.

Nearly over night the wind blew all the leaves off.  More on that

On Thursday I mentioned that Mom was going to a Christmas Wreath Work shop.

It was a held at Fairview Garden Center in Raleigh, sponsored by BB&T.

TOGM was actually very pleased with her first ever live wreath.

The nursery staff gave everyone a few tips on how to start.  They had all types of 

greenery cut and in bins for us to select and a wire form.  

Mom loved all the shades of green and types of greenery.

For some reason Mom was they only attendee who used Magnolia leaves (there to the left of 

the bow).   Might just be a Southern thing but she loves the texture and shine

Yep TOGM was proud of it.  It is hanging by the front door.

The bow was not included in the work shop.  Mom bought it at the there though

and it was just the final touch needed.
